4MB is MUCH MUCH easier to work in than 1.44, especially if I can use a
compressed RAMDISK (how much ram do these suckers have). In 4MB, I
could probably even squeeze in the tiny X server (for a "thin client"
image).
As for flash disks, I don't know what kind you're using, but I'm a fan
of those little CF to IDE converters (that run the CF card in IDE compat
mode), they're about $10 each at the place I've found (I'll have to find
it again :) and you can just put a normal CF card on them.

We could use your HDD-less Linux experience for R Scott Belford's cashier
conversion from Win98 to Linux too. I hope that they can use read-only 4MB
IDE flash disks on each cashier in place of their hard drives. Less moving
parts and heat generation, more reliable setup. Each disk will need an SSH
client and simple LPD client and server.
Scott and Dean, could you please provide details of how your Point of Sale
system works?

If you need any help doing HDD-less linux distros, don't hesitate to ask
me as I've been working on that quite a bit recently. I've got a
complete system with basically every networking tool you could ever want
(including full ipv6 support) on one barely full floppy disk, and that's
without tweaking the linking and compiler optimization for size.
BTW: I am going to get working on your DMZ support Warren, been busy
recently, but this weekend I have monday off and my LAN party on sat.
fell through, so I might get some time.
